In the latter half of the sevenbreuth and the early part ( the eighteenth centuries the rogdlatiou oi the price of bread by public authority wasfn famll tar principle In the English colonies of America. Iu New Ilaveu. for lustauce. the weight of the penny loaf was regu lated by law nbout 1010. and ta 1690 the Massachusetts .general court also provided a regular assize, Axing the wejght jf the loaf according to the price of flour. At various time dur ing the Brut quarter of the eighteenth century the selectmen of Boston like wise performed this duty. It Is Interesting, however, to note a survival or perhaps a revival of this principle as late as the nineteenth con tury In the town of Mobile, a place whose economic history Is marked by many peculiar features. After fifty two years of French, seventeen years of English and thirty-three years of Spanish rule Mobile came under the control of the United State govern ment In April, 1813, and was included In the Mississippi territory. On Jan. 20, 1814, by an act of the territorial legislature the town received a charter of Incorporation, and at two meetings of the Inhabitants, on March 11 and H the municipal government wai or ganized and the charter publicly read Iu Difrll h and In French. The popula tion i;t this time was composed of French, English and Irish elements. On April 4 following, three weeks after the organization of the municipal gov ernment, a "tariff for bakers," or as size of bread, was drawn up by the commissioners (the governing body of the town) and proclaimed In English and In French. This fixed the weight of the loaf for the ensuing month In accordance with the price of flour. In stead of changing the price of bread It was more convenient to make the loaves lighter or heavier as the price of flour rose or fell. On May 2, 1814, the weight of the bit loaf (the bit being a coin worth 12 cents) was fixed at twenty-eight ounces, and the weight of the half bit loaf was fixed at fourteen ounces. On July 8, 1815, Mr. Martin, the bak er, appeared before the board and paid the sum of $10, a fine Inflicted on him for having bis bread too light, one-half of which sum was paid to the police officer. On Jan. 24, 1817, a regular scale of weights for the bit loaf was adopted. Beginning May 3, 1817, the nnslze of bread was proclaimed weekly Instead of monthly, as before, and this system was continued for a little more than two years. The records do not show that the assize was proclaimed after 1819, but the town continued to exer cise a control over tbo business of bak ing. Every bakor was required to procure a license and to register bis trademark, which was stamped on his loaves. A public bakehouse was also estiibllKlied and seems to have been managed In the same way that munici palities control public markets, the laket'H renting tbe stalls from the town and being subject to inspection.
